BBQ Chicken Pizza

I don't like to veer TOO far off the beaten path with pizza.

But occasionally, I see something I just have to try - or give another try! I've had BBQ Chicken Pizza before, and not been wowed, but I gave it another shot, and it was pretty tasty, actually. This works great as an appetizer, dinner tonight, or as a freezer meal. I'm guessing on amounts here - I kind of just sprinkled ans tweaked as I went. This made 1 pizza that was about 9" x 12".

BBQ Chicken Pizza

1-2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked & diced
1 cup-ish fontina cheese, shredded
1/2 cup provolone cheese, shredded
1/2 cup to 1 cup your favorite BBQ sauce (I don't like it too sweet)
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
red pepper flakes, if you like
1 par-baked pizza crust (make your own, or purchase)

I lightly brushed some BBQ sauce on the crust, but you can skip that if you like, and drizzle some over top instead, or whatever floats your boat. I tossed the chicken pieces in some sauce, too. Start by layering 1/2 of your cheese on the crust, and then sprinkle on the chicken and onion slices. Add the rest of your cheese, and bake in a preheated 425 degree oven until cheese is golden, about 10-15 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes, then top with the fresh cilantro, slice and serve.

To make this as a freezer meal, make up the pizza, then wrap in plastic wrap or foil, and freeze. Bake frozen, but add a little baking time.

Layered Mexican Trifle Salad

So this is awesome. It's a lot of work, but it is awesome. Feeds a crowd, looks cool, tastes great. What more can you ask for? I first had this at a party, and then tracked down the recipe - I believe it was originally from Pampered Chef. You can mix it up, but I really like this combo. It's easy to double or whatever is needed, based on the serving dish. The one pictured was MASSIVE, and was basically a triple batch - so much work, and at the last minute! Layered Mexican Trifle Salad I ngredients: Beans: drain, rinse and mix together 1 15 oz. can pinto beans and 1 15 oz. can black beans 1 15 oz. can whole kernel corn, drained (I've also used fresh) 1 large tomato, diced (I usually use several Roma tomatoes) 2 green bell peppers, diced 3 ripe avocadoes, diced and mashed with the juice of 1 lime and salt and pepper to taste 1 large onion, diced (red or white) 2 cups cooked chicken, diced or shredded 2 cups cheddar or jack cheese, shredded

Shredded Korean-Style Beef

I could eat this Korean-style shredded beef every week - the kids love it, the husband loves it, and it's so easy! This recipe is a great one for a freezer meal, too - I usually make a double batch to serve half and freeze the other half. It's a go-to when I need a meal to share with a someone who needs one in our school community. I'll throw in a bag of tortilla chips and guac with pico, some fresh pineapple or other fruit, and all of the fixings for the tacos. You can even buy pre-washed lettuce leaves for wraps if you want to include those and you want a short-cut. It seems to be a universal favorite for kids and adults. Shredded Korean-Style Beef 2-3 lb. chuck roast 1/2 medium white onion, diced 1/3 c. low-sodium soy sauce 1 tbsp. rice vinegar 1 tsp. sesame oil 1/3 c. honey 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 tbsp. fresh ginger, grated (or 1 tsp. ground) 1/2 jalapeno, minced 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper Put in the roast and onions in your slow cooker, and whi

Oven Baked Pizza Subs

I have fond memories of pizza subs from my college days. We would scrounge up any change or small bills we could find, and pile in someone's car and head to Mineo's for a late night pizza sub. They were cheap, and they were hot, melty, and delicious. Here's my attempt at a recipe: Oven Baked Pizza Subs 4-6 hoagie rolls oregano or Italian seasoning slices of provolone cheese (or mozzarella) slices of pepperoni (I get it sliced at the deli for nice big pieces) slices of genoa salami slices of your favorite ham, sliced very thin 1/2 lb. Italian sausage, browned and drained (turkey Italian sausage is pretty good - optional) your favorite pizza sauce veggies if desired (and I desire them on the parental sandwiches) - thin green pepper slices, thin onion slices, mushrooms if you're into them, banana peppers, etc. Have on hand: shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes and if you like, mayo - for a really delish spread, mix some mayo, a dash of red wine vinegar, a tiny scoop
